Getting There and Around

You will reach the island either at Samui airport, Samui ferry port or Nathon pier. Generally, if your desired resort knows your arrival time, you will be picked up by the resort's mini-bus. If not, there are many private taxi services (pickups) waiting for new guests. Listen to words like "taxi sir ?". Limousine service is also available at Samui airport.

Hints: ask for the price before entering any taxi - and bargain!

If you have a clear destination, avoid any discussions or suggestions for "a better hotel". Always the best is to have a pickup service from your hotel. You may also call the hotel from Samui, Bangkok or wherever you are now.
